Journey knee replacements offer more in Knee replacements

Watch Lateef Mohammad of Iraq narrate his account of a knee replacement in India. He received a Journey Oxinium knee. The Journey knee offers more in knee replacements.
Patients seeking a knee replacement in India are asking far more from their knee replacement. After launching this prosthesis, Dr.Venkatachalam consultant Orthopaedic surgeon of the Madras Joint Replacement center says that patients are amazed to see other previous patients do so well.
Lateef Mohammad, an Iraqi mechanical engineer is the latest to ask for this implant. Lateef was very impressed with results in Manal Hassan, a 38 year old banker, the first Iraqi patient operated a year ago. This lady who used to hobble now walks freely and can bend her knees completely and walks with a normal gait. No wonder that Lateef specifically asked for this implant from Dr.Venkatachalam.
The biomechanics of this device are different from other knee implants. Its design closely matches the normal human knee. Its bicruciate stabilizing insert confers extra stability while descending stairs and turning around a curve. "They tend to just glide and bend whereas this one rotates or pivots as it bends," he said.
Dr.Venkatachalam has implanted this in fourteen knees and the results are spectacular.
Lateef can walk without a cane in one week after his operation although his stitches are not even out.

The Journey Oxinium knee is unique as it resembles the normal human knee in its movements and design.

Knee replacement UK patient testimonial at three months after surgery

Good to hear from you. I’m an impatient person so progress will never seem fast enough for me! However my osteopath tells me she is amazed at my progress and sees me as far ahead of what she has come to expect with all the others she has worked with. I am walking well, and stamina is improving, but still has a long way to go. My wife says that I was walking like an old man in January and early feb., but now I don’t look like one. I am much better at climbing up stairs and am improving at climbing down them, and take most opportunities so to do. I’m up to about 135 degrees of bend, or slightly more, and I think both legs have evened out now.

Today I have been to the Gymn again (Mon, Wed, & Fri), and during the various journeys to and from (and then back to London Bridge for other reasons) have climbed down all the stairs into Canada Water station twice (i.e. 2 x 33 steps), and back up them again, up and down one flight of moving escalator, and then various stairs and steps elsewhere. Down is still more of a problem, and causes pain on the front outside of the knee, below the level of the knee-cap, in both legs but worse in the right. This persists for some time in walking after finishing the steps but goes eventually.

My osteopath says that the muscle you identified ( I still can’t remember the name – VMO – VOM ?)is now very well bulked up and has said to stop using the electro stimulation on it. She is very impressed with the difference that the stimulation has made in conjunction with gymn exercise.
